Chapter 1136 – Afterword ─ Pandora and Venus ~ You Can’t Fake Blood
“There’s no need to disguise yourself like this, is there?”
“Did you forget about the antics you showed at Minos’ academy entrance ceremony?”
“Uh, uh huh! A travelogue! What a strange thing to say! Ceres! It’s the emperor’s… Performance!”
Venus, with slightly blushing cheeks, was wearing a sparkling platinum-colored dress, but none of the Academy students passing by were paying attention.
“What about the eccentric activities you have been doing since then by participating in all entrance ceremonies and graduation ceremonies?”
“Didn’t you say it was a performance? Should the emperor always be afraid? It should also make him laugh!”
“… She seemed like a childish person who didn’t want to let go of her daughter.”
“Is it possible? It’s not possible?!”
Venus couldn’t stand it anymore and pinched Ceres’ side, and Ceres, making a cute snort, dodged the attack by simply pulling her butt to the side.
The two were walking around the academy where Venus had previously attended.
“However, Your Majesty is also forced to do something.”
“I guess I just want to tell you that there’s no need for me to come here myself.”
Venus did not deny it. The emperor, who was the only god, could find out everything that happened in the academy if he wanted to, even while sitting on the throne.
But Venus didn’t do that. At least he did not want to accept things involving his children as words, words heard over his shoulder, or understanding through power.
‘If you use that method, it seems like you lack affection… I think you will gradually no longer be able to regard your child as your child.’
Venus, who had no intention of meeting the same ending as Jupiter, looked at Ceres and smiled. There was no way the maid, who had served her master for a long time, would not know his true feelings, so Ceres smiled the same way.
“If His Majesty had said he would look into matters with his authority, I would have pinched his ass.”
“Haha… Anyway, doesn’t this matter involve my lovely daughter? I have to listen to it with my own two eyes and ears. Cancer, cancer.”
“That’s why we brought up theocracy in Minos’ case…”
At Ceres’ playful words, Venus rubbed his face with his palm.
“That’s… That guy. Didn’t he say something outrageous to Minos, who was still a middle school student at the academy…”
“Hehe, wasn’t there an artist with conviction? Her advice ultimately ignited Minos’ artistic spirit.”
“This is a child who should become an emperor when he gets older…”
Venus’ temples felt tingly when she told the story of Minos. This pain was a disease that could not be cured even by Venus, who had the power to rewind the world once.
‘Minos is lewd and playful, he doesn’t like to do anything with his head, and he’s happy to do anything I tell him to do, even to the point of giving up his womb…’
Minos’ lustful appearance was only visible when he was riding on top of Venus’ waist, and although Minos hated studying, his art was so great that even artists who did not hold back his advice even before the sword were impressed, which made Venus’ head hurt even more.
“I think it will be okay if you take your time and think about it.”
Venus nodded his head.
“Now that I think about it, it’s Elesis…”
Elesis was Haley’s daughter. She was a very impressive child with her flowing red hair, just like her mother.
“They say he couldn’t control his anger this time and maimed his opponent during a joust.”
“… Is that so? This is my first time hearing this.”
“Because Elesis held back her anger for a long time before finally venting, she was just hissing, hoping that rumors would not spread.”
Ceres twitched his eyebrows once and then sighed.
“Are you sure… Are you the same master who whined that Miss Elesis lost her fiancee?”
“Yes! In the first place, Elesis said she was just a friend of the child, and she didn’t even talk about anything sexual!”
It’s an absurd misunderstanding. Ceres muttered, and Venus continued talking about her children for a while before stopping with her legs.
“Hmm… Yes, you can see it clearly from here too.”
Venus covered his eyes with his right hand and began to watch Pandora, who was standing at what could be said to be the edge of the horizon. When Ceres saw it, she took out her telescope from inside her maid’s uniform and held it to her eye.
“It looks like the rumor isn’t an outright lie.”
“Isn’t Pandora the child who inherited the good qualities of me and Abamama? She seems to be quite generous and kind to her friends.”
There were quite a few academy students around Pandora, who was tying her golden hair together.
Pandora did not discriminate between masters and dames, nor did she make friends among viscounts, dukes, or royalty. Rather, he was just showing off his elegant and even accurate swordsmanship in front of numerous students.
“… I guess that’s the story Minerva told.”
“Yes, your skills are so outstanding that not only the Blood Rose Knights but also other knights refuse to duel.”
“If Pandora wants, it would be a good idea to walk the path of a knight.”
Ceres smiled.
“You are very popular at parties.”
“Even at parties? You can’t be popular just because you’re a member of the royal family, right?”
The story was different from Venus’ Academy days.
‘I’ve graduated now, but doesn’t Pandora have Minos and Akasha as her older sisters? She has Amethyst, Circe, and Stheno of the same age.
In addition, there were many ‘children who received the emperor’s seed’ at the academy, enough to name about 10 more after her daughter.
“He sticks to etiquette that does not embarrass others, and he always enjoys dancing. He drinks at the other person’s pace, doesn’t choose food, and likes to dress up. Who wouldn’t like that?”
“Ho, ho… She’s a princess knight who looks like she came out of a book.”
Ceres smiled and nodded her head.
“But… There are rumors like that?”
“I’m hoping it ends as a rumor…”
“There is a reason for every rumor, even if it is unpleasant. Even if it is a rumor, there is someone who spread it maliciously. Well, there are times when grudges are trivial.”
Venus slowly lowered his hands and turned his gaze to the side.
“Is it true that Pandora created her own club?”
“Yes, but I think Your Majesty knows.”
“Yes… Minos and Akasha were all excited and formed a club. There were a lot of participants.”
Venus had a strange expression and scratched the back of his head.
‘… I also had people who committed outrageous slander, and it is said that people who hold a grudge will swear at the other person even if they step on leaves that have fallen from the sky…’
“To be honest, I don’t think so.”
Venus stopped thinking at Ceres’ words.
“Yes, the idea that Pandora, who is bright, likes to hang out with others, and has no reservations about making friends, is enjoying carnal pleasures by creating a lewd and closed club… Seems like an absurd rumor.”
“However… They say it is true that only girls are accepted into the club.”
“… Didn’t Minos do the same?”
Venus’ head started pounding again when she remembered Minos smiling brightly and saying that he wouldn’t say a word to the priests in order to maintain his purity.
“Just in time, I’m lucky.”
Venus, who saw the noisy Pandora and the crowd gathered around them slowly starting to disperse, looked at Ceres.
“It’s time to use the oracle’s magic.”
“Just like hiding my dick, couldn’t we make our presence unrecognized?”
“Of course. The academy’s magic circle is still the same.”
Ceres smiled and waved his hand, and the magic that had made Venus aware of him as an ‘academy student’ changed to a point where he could not even feel his existence.
“… By the way, Ceres. Isn’t this magic circle quite dangerous?”
“That’s right.”
“Then wouldn’t it be better to get rid of it?”
“There will continue to be children attending the academy like now, and unless you are a genius like Arisa, you will not be able to touch my magic circle.”
Seeing Ceres speaking with a confident expression, Venus smoothed his chin.
“Still, if someone abuses it…”
“At that time, I will cut my head. Also, even if you recognize this magic circle, it is very difficult to touch it, so unless you are a fool who throws yourself away without thinking about what happens next, there is no chance of trouble.”
Venus, who could not believe the proudly approaching Ceres, nodded and approached a building made of sparkling white marble that he had never seen before when he was attending the academy.
Venus saw with her own eyes that Pandora and several young ladies entered.
“This is my first time seeing this building…”
“This is the building that Lady Pandora built with the ‘help’ of her classmates.”
“… You built it?”
Venus rubbed his forehead with his right hand.
“Is such an absurd thing possible?”
“Yes, the academy is operated with subsidies from the imperial family and other nobles…”
“Huh, okay… If you decide to bring money and materials on your own to build a building for the club, are you saying there is no reason to stop it?”
“It was something His Majesty could not even dream of.”
“Am I crazy?! This is a bit! Isn’t this too extravagant? Even if it’s a club activity, it would be nice to have a building like this to chat happily with like-minded classmates, study together, and pursue hobbies…! It’s bigger than a dormitory!”
Venus rubbed her forehead with her right hand.
“Wow, my head hurts… The smell of an incident is in the air…”
Muttering, Venus cautiously slowly opened the door to the building where Pandora provided accommodations and food.
─ Kii Iik
“Let’s see…”
Venus naturally opened the door and came in, raising the corners of his mouth slightly. The building, beautifully decorated with pure white marble, was very elegant and old-fashioned.
‘Isn’t that statue the one Minos made last time? Wow, it looks like you gave it to your younger brother with a happy heart. Yes, the sofa is not an outrageously extravagant one, but rather the simple one used at the academy. Even affectionately with the young lady…’
Venus, who was thinking to herself, bent her eyebrows.
“Ah, ah… Pandora… Ah, haa…!”
Strange moans were coming from the sofa that Venus was also familiar with. A young lady who had not yet taken off her academy uniform was lying down with her legs wide open, and on top of her was Pandora with her top undone.
Pandora was inserted as if it were natural and was shaking her waist wildly.
“…”
Venus looked at Ceres, covering her face with her palm, and Ceres just smiled awkwardly.
